Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for August 13, 2023

Hawthorne you deserved it.

What goes around, comes around.

A pinch in time

Complementary hot pot, next time

Stay under water – the sharks are nicer…

Good thing he doesn’t pinch dicks.

Yum. Boiled crab. Hawthorne does seem pretty crabby.

Hawthorne, don’t forget, people think you’d be pretty tasty with drawn butter!

And if you see any butter in this lagoon, it’s definitely drawn!

You know what they say, Hawthorne, good things come to those who wait. But what just happened was not a good thing because you didn’t wait.

When you see a pot boiling ….. Hawthorne …. you’ll really know that your in “HOT” water …… :)

Oh, sure, but when I go around pinching hermit crabs at the beach, people get all weird…

Kind of like American society, people are fed up with all the Karens out there.

A teeny little beastie of an ant bit my foot the other day. I realized after I squashed it that it was likely defending itself, having gotten caught between my foot and sandal leather.. no guilt.

Pinch? Nah: kick into the nearest rock.

Getting close to “pinchbeck”, somewhat valuable these days…

The crabs that managed to pinch somebody (usually who caught them) often paid for it dearly when I lived in Maryland.

Serves you right Hawthorne.

Haha! XD
